Setting the Sparrow Free!

I've been volunteering at the wild bird sanctuary for the past month. I really love helping there. Helping the birds is not something I would have thought of doing, but they really need help. These little creatures are amazing. One of the best parts of this job is setting the rehabilitated birds free. Today I came home with 10 little sparrows to let go.

Free at Last!




A little timid

Didn't want to go

Didn't leave the cage for a couple of hours

Exploring the yard

Pie Pops

Even better than cake pops

New Obsession

( yes, these are ones that I made)

Fuzzy Wuzzy

With the kids being gone all week, I decided to break out the lethal felting needles and whip out this little bear. Now to decide what to do with it....

Mexican wedding

We were lucky enough to be able to attend our good friends wedding back in April. I was so inspired by the colors and artwork that we saw in the markets, that I wanted to make soemthing for them. I used the Sublime Stitching Dia de los Muertos pattern and created this piece. After 4 months, it's finally complete!

My week in Review

This past week we.... Hiked at Sylvan lake, stood where Nicholas Cage stood and did find the lost city of gold
Picked up sticks to use for walking

Climbed rock dams

Met a giant tortoise that was 125 years old

came face to face with a baby croc

watched a man stick his arm in a crocodiles mouth and come out ok

walked in the rain

Found an old ghost town, this is the chalk board in the school

cars left to become spider homes

beautiful orange mushrooms on the forest floor

layers of wallpaper in an old house

baby buffalo

played on a merry-go-round

Sometimes I'm amazed at the things I get to see. This was my view when my car overheated today in Wyoming. Pretty eh?
